Frame to frame interpolation for high-dimensional data visualisation using the woylier package

The woylier package implements tour interpolation paths between frames using Givens rotations. This provides an alternative to the geodesic interpolation between planes currently available in the tourr package. Tours are used to visualise high-dimensional data and models, to detect clustering, anomalies and non-linear relationships. Frame-to-frame interpolation can be useful for projection pursuit guided tours when the index is not rotationally invariant. It also provides a way to specifically reach a given target frame. We demonstrate the method for exploring non-linear relationships between currency cross-rates.

Introduction

When data has up to three variables, visualization is relatively intuitive, while with more than three variables, we face the challenge of visualizing high dimensions on 2D displays. This issue was tackled by the grand tour (Asimov 1985) which can be used to view data in more than three dimensions using linear projections. It is based on the idea of rotations of a lower-dimensional projection in high-dimensional space. The grand tour allows users to see dynamic low-dimensional (typically 2D) projections of higher dimensional space. Originally, Asimov’s grand tour presents the viewer with an automatic movie of projections with no user control. Since then new work has added interactivity to the tour, giving more control to users (Buja et al. 2005). New variations include the manual (Cook and Buja 1997) or radial tour (Laa et al. 2023), little tour, guided tour (Cook et al. 1995), local tour, and planned tour. These are different ways of selecting the sequence of projection bases for the tour, for an overview see Lee et al. (2022).

The guided tour combines projection pursuit with the grand tour and it is implemented in the tourr package (Wickham et al. 2011). Projection pursuit is a procedure used to locate the projection of high-to-low dimensional space that should expose the most interesting feature of data, originally proposed in Kruskal (1969). It involves defining a criterion of interest, a numerical objective function that indicates the interestingness of each projection, and an optimization for selecting planes with increasing values of the function. In the literature, a number of such criteria have been developed based on clustering, spread, and outliers.

A tour path is a sequence of projections and we use an interpolation to produce small steps simulating a smooth movement. The current implementation of tour in tourr package uses geodesic interpolation between planes. The geodesic interpolation path is the locally shortest path between planes with no within-plane spin (see Buja et al. (2004) for more details). As a result, the rendered target plane could be a within-plane rotation of the target plane originally specified. This is not a problem when the structure we are looking for can be identified from any rotation. However, even simple associations in 2D, such as the calculated correlation between variables, can be very different when the basis is rotated.

Most projection pursuit indexes, particularly those provided by the tourr are rotationally invariant. However, there are some projection pursuit index where the orientation of frames does matter. One example is the splines index proposed by Grimm (2016). The splines index computes a spline model for the two variables in a projection, in order to measure non-linear association. It can be useful to detect non-linear relationships in high-dimensional data. However, its value will change substantially if the projection is rotated within the plane (Laa and Cook 2020). The procedure in Grimm (2016) was less affected by the orientation because it considered only pairs of variables, and it selects the maximum value found when exchanging which variable is considered as predictor and response variable.

Figure 1 illustrates the rotational invariance problem for a modified spline2D index, where we always consider the horizontal direction as the predictor variable, and the vertical direction as the response. Thus, our modified index computes the splines on one orientation, exaggerating the rotational variability. The example data was simulated to follow a sine curve and the modified splines index is calculated on different within-plane rotations of the data. Although they have the same structure, the index values vary greatly.

The lack of rotation invariance of the splines index raises complications in the optimisation process in the projection-pursuit guided tour as available in the tourr. Fixing this is the motivation of this work. The goal with the frame-to-frame interpolation is that optimisation would find the best within-plane rotation, and thus appropriately optimize the index.

Three side-by-side scatterplots. The left side plot shows two variables, V5, V6, with a sine curve. The index value is the maximum of 1. The middle plot shows the two variables rotated 45 degrees clock-wise, and the calculated index value is 0.83. The right-side plot is rotated 60 degrees, and the calculated index value is 0.26.

Figure 1: The impact of rotation on a spline index that is NOT rotation invariant. The index value for different within-plane rotations take very different values: (a) original projection has maximum index value of 1.00, (b) axes rotated 45\(^o\) drops index value to 0.83, (c) axes rotated 60\(^o\) drops index to a very low 0.26. Geodesic interpolation between planes will have difficulty finding the maximum of an index like this because it is focused only on the projection plane, not the frame defining the plane.

A few alternatives to geodesic interpolation were proposed by Buja et al. (2005) including the decomposition of orthogonal matrices, Givens decomposition, and Householder decomposition. The purpose of the woylier package is to implement the Givens paths method in R. This algorithm adapts the Given’s matrix decomposition technique which allows the interpolation to be between frames rather than planes.

This article is structured as follows. The next section provides the theoretical framework of the Givens interpolation method followed by a section about the implementation in R. The method is applied to search for nonlinear associations between currency cross-rates.

Background

The tour method of visualization is animated high-to-low dimensional data rotation that is a movie, one-parameter (time) family of static projections. Algorithms for such dynamic projections Buja et al. (2005) are based on the idea of smoothly interpolating a discrete sequence of projections.

The topic of this article is the construction of paths of projections. Interpolation of paths of projection can be compared to connecting line segments that interpolate points in Euclidean space. Interpolation acts as a bridge between continuous animation and discrete choice of sequences of projections.

The interpolating paths of plane versus frames

Current implementation of tourr package is locally shortest (geodesic) interpolation of planes. The pitfall of this interpolation method is that it does not account for rotation variability. Therefore, the interpolation of frames is required when the orientation of projection matters. If the rendering on a frame and on the rotated version of the frame yields the same visual scenes, it means the orientation does not matter.

The orientation of frames could be important when non-linear projection pursuit function is used in guided tour. An illustration of such cases are shown in Figure 2.

For some non-linear index orientation of data could affect the index.Plane to plane interpolation (left) and Frame to frame interpolation (right). We used dog index for illustration purposes. For some non-linear index orientation of data could affect the index.

Before continuing with the interpolation algorithms, we need to define the notations.

\[F^TF = I_d\]

Preprojection algorithm

In order to make the interpolation algorithm simple, we need to carry out “preprojection” step. The purpose of preprojection is to limit data subspace that the interpolation path, \(F(t)\), is traversing. In other words, preprojection step make sure the interpolation path between two frames \(F_a\) and \(F_z\) is not going to the data space that is not related to \(F_a\) and \(F_z\). Simply, prepojection algorithm is defining the joint subspace of \(F_a\) and \(F_z\).

The procedure starts with forming an orthonormal basis by applying Gram-Schmidt to \(F_z\) with regard to \(F_a\). We denote this orthonormal basis by \(F_\star\). Then build preprojection basis \(B\) by combining \(F_a\) and \(F_\star\) as follows:

\[B = (F_a, F_{\star})\]

The dimension of the resulting orthonormal basis, \(B\), is \(p\times 2d\).

Then, we can express the original frames in terms of this basis:

\[F_a = B^TW_a, F_z = B^TW_z\]

The interpolation problem is then reduced to the construction of paths of frames \(W(t)\) that interpolate the preprojected frames \(W_a\) and \(W_z\). Because \(B\) is orthonormalized basis of \(F_z\) with regard to \(F_a\), \(W_a\) is \(2d\times d\) matrix of 1, 0s. This is an important character for our interpolation algorithm of choice, Givens interpolation.

Givens interpolation path algorithm

A rotation matrix is a transformation matrix used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space in a plane. A rotation matrix that transforms 2D plane by an angle \(\theta\) looks like this:

\[ \begin{bmatrix}\cos \theta &-\sin \theta \\\sin \theta &\cos \theta \end{bmatrix} \]

If the rotation is in the plane of selected 2 variables, it is called Givens rotation. Let’s denote those 2 variables \(i\) and \(j\). The Givens rotation is useful for introducing zeros on a grand scale and used for computing the QR decomposition of matrix in linear algebra problems. One advantage over other transformation methods which is particularly useful in our case is the ability to zero elements more selectively.

The interpolation methods in the woylier package is based on the fact that in any vector of a matrix, one can zero out the \(i\)-th coordinate with a Givens rotation (Golub and Loan 1989) in the \((i, j)\)-plane for any \(j\neq i\). This rotation affects only coordinate \(i\) and \(j\) and leave all other coordinates unchanged.

Sequences of Givens rotations can map any orthonormal d-frame F in p-space to standard d-frame \(E_d=((1, 0, 0, ...)^T, (0, 1, 0, ...)^T, ...)\).

The interpolation path construction algorithm from starting frame \(F_a\) to target frame \(F_z\) is illustrated below. The example is 2D path construction process of original 6D data frame.

  1. Construct preprojection basis \(B\) by orthonormalizing \(F_z\) with regards tp \(F_a\) with Gram-Schmidt.

In our example, \(F_a\) and \(F_z\) are \(p\times d\) or \(6\times2\) matrices that are orthonormal. The preprojection basis \(B\) is \(p\times 2d\) matrix that is \(6\times 4\).

  1. Get the preprojected frames using the preprojection basis \(B\). \[W_a = B^TF_a = E_d\] and \[W_z = B^TF_z\]

In our example, \(W_a\) looks like:

\[ \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 \\0 &1 \\ 0&0 \\0&0\end{bmatrix} \]

\(W_z\) is orthonormal \(2d\times d\) matrix that looks like:

\[ \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\a_{21} &a_{22} \\ a_{31}&a_{32} \\a_{41}&a_{42}\end{bmatrix} \]

  1. Then, we can construct a sequence of Givens rotations that maps \(W_z\) to \(W_a\) with such angles that makes one element zero at a time:

\[ W_a = R_m(\theta_m) ... R_2(\theta_2)R_1(\theta_1)W_z\]

At each rotation, the angle \(\theta_i\) that zero out the second coordinate of a plane is calculated.

When \(d = 2\), there are 5 rotations involved with 5 different angles that makes each elements 0. For example, the first rotation angle \(\theta_1\) is an angle in radian between \((1, 0)\) and \((a_{11}, a_{21})\). This rotation matrix would make element \(a_{21}\) zero:

\[R_1(\theta_1) = G(1, 2, \theta_1) = \begin{bmatrix} cos\theta_1 & -sin\theta_1 & 0 & 0 \\sin\theta_1 &cos\theta_1 & 0 &0 \\ 0&0&1&0 \\0&0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\]

6th rotation is not necessary due to orthonormality of columns. If we make one element of a column 1 that means all other elements must be 0.

  1. The inverse mapping is obtained by reversing the sequence of rotations with the negative of the angles, we starts from the starting basis and end at the target basis.

\[R(\theta) = R_1(-\theta_1) ... R_m(-\theta_m), \ W_z = R(\theta)W_a\]

Performing these rotations would go from the starting frame to the target frame in one step. But we want to do it sequentially in a number of steps so interpolation between frames looks dynamic.

  1. Next step should include the time parameter, \(t\), so that it shows the interpolation process rendered in the movie-like sequence. We break \(\theta_i\) into the number of steps, \(n-step\), that we want to go from starting frame to the target frame, which means it moves by equal angle in each step.

  2. Finally, we reconstruct our original frames using \(B\). This reconstruction is done at each step of interpolation so that we have interpolated path as result. We use \(F_t\) to project the orignal data into lower dimensions.

\[F_t = B W_t\]

Projection pursuit index functions

The properties of several projection pursuit index functions were investigated in Laa and Cook (2020). The smoothness, squintability, flexibility, rotation invariance, and speed of projection pursuit index functions were examined. The one property that is interesting to us is rotation invariance. The rotational invariance is examined by computing projection pursuit index for different rotations within 2D plane. It is established that the dcor2d, splines2d and TIC index are not strictly rotationally invariant. The splines2d index measures nonlinear association between variable by fitting spline model. It compares the variance of residuals and the functional dependence is stronger when the index value is larger.

Implementation

We implemented each steps in Givens interpolation path algorithm in separate functions and combined them in givens_full_path() function. Here is the input and output of each functions and it’s descriptions.

construct_moving_frame(Wt, B) Reconstruct interpolated frames using pre-projection. Pre-projection matrix B, Each frame of givens path A frame of on a step of interpolation

The interface of tour is that it renders one projection of data at a time. It displays one projection and asks for the next projection. Therefore, path of projections shown below is sequence of projections to be renders at tour display.

The givens_full_path() function returns the intermediate interpolation step projections in given number of steps. The code chunk below demonstrates the interpolation between 2 random basis in 5 steps.

Comparison of geodesic interpolation and Givens interpolation

In this section, we illustrate the use of givens_full_path() function by plotting the interpolated path between 2 frames. This also a way of checking if interpolated path is moving in equal size at each step.

For plotting the interpolated path of projections, we used geozoo package (Schloerke 2016). 1D projection is plotted on unit sphere, while 2D projection is visualized on torus. The points on the surface of sphere and torus shape are randomly generated by functions from the geozoo package.

Interpolated paths of 1D projection

1D projection of data in high dimension linear combination of data that is normalized. Therefore, we can plot the point on the surface of a hypersphere. Figure 3 shows the Givens interpolation steps between 2 points, 1D projection of 6D data that is.

Two highlighted points on the surface of sphere connected by 10 interpolated steps, rotating.Two highlighted points on the surface of sphere connected by 10 interpolated steps, rotating.

Figure 3: Interpolation steps of 1D and 2D projections of 3D data

Interpolated paths of 2D projection

In case of 2D projections, we can plot the interpolated path between 2 frames on the surface of torus. Torus can be seen as crossing of 2 circles that are orthonormal. Figure ?? shows the Givens interpolation steps in 2D projection of 6D data.

For a 2D projection the same target plane is found when rotating the basis within the plane, or when reflecting across one of the two directions (the reflected basis can then also be rotating). This means the space of target bases is constrained to two circles in the high-dimensional space, and these are disconnected because the reflection corresponds to a jump along the torus surface. In the high-dimensional space we can imagine the reflection as flipping over the target plane, resulting in a reflection of the normal vector on the plan. While the Givens interpolation will reach the exact basis, a geodesic interpolation towards the same target plane can land anywhere along those two circles, depending on the starting basis in the interpolation.

In this section, we used simulated data for comparing geodesic and Givens interpolation paths. The data has 6 variables and 500 observations. The variable 5 and 6 has sine structure and the remaining variables are randomly generated from normal distribution. The sine is non-linear structure and can be detected using splines2d index.

Figure ?? shows the Geodesic and Givens interpolation to target frame where the two variables forms sine curve.

Data application

This section describes the application of Givens interpolation path with guided tour to explore non-linear association in multivariate data.

We have cross-rates for currencies relative to the US dollar. A cross-rate is an exchange rate between two currencies computed by reference to a third currency, usually the US dollar.

The data was extracted from openexchangerates and contains cross-rate for ARS, AUD, EUR, JPY, KRW, MYR between 2019-11-1 to 2020-03-31. Figure 4 shows how the currencies changed relative to USD over the time period. We see some collective behavior in March of 2020 with EUR and JPY increasing in a similar manner, and smaller currencies decreasing in value. This could be understood as a consequence of flight-to-quality at this uncertain times.

All the currencies are standardised and the sign is flipped. The high value means the currency strengthened against the USD, and low means that it weakened.

Figure 4: All the currencies are standardised and the sign is flipped. The high value means the currency strengthened against the USD, and low means that it weakened.

We are interested in capturing this relations over time, and from the time series visualization we expect that we can capture the main dynamics in a two-dimensional projection from the six-dimensional space of currencies. Thus we start from \(p=6\) (the different currencies) and \(n=152\) the number of days in our sample. We expect that a projection onto \(d=2\) dimensions should capture the relation between the two groups of currencies mentioned above, and this should be identified within the noise of the random fluctuations.

PCA result

Since the collective behavior observed in March 2020 clearly stands out in the time series display, we may expect that we can capture the dependence between the two groups using principal components analysis. Figure @re(pca-result-static) shows a scatter plot matrix of the PCs of our dataset. Indeed we find strong non-linear association between the first two PCs. Investigation of the rotation shows that the first principal component is primarily a balanced combination between ARS, AUD, KRW and MYR (and a smaller contribution of EUR), and the second contribution is dominated by EUR and JPY contrasted with smaller contributions from ARS and MYR. Our next step is thus to use projection pursuit to identify the best projection matrix that captures the non-linear functional dependence.

There is a strong non-linear dependence between PC1 and PC2. Observations in March 2020 are highlighted in dark blue, all other months are shown in grey.

Figure 5: There is a strong non-linear dependence between PC1 and PC2. Observations in March 2020 are highlighted in dark blue, all other months are shown in grey.

New splines2d index

We now use the splines index to identify a projection with functional dependence between the first and second direction of the projection. Note here that because of strong linear correlations between the currencies, we start from the first four principal components, explaining over 99% of the variance in the data. To avoid starting from the view already identified in the first two principal components we start from a projections onto the third and forth principal components. The PCA display in tourr to show the projection in terms of the original variables while only touring within the smaller space spanned by the first four principal components.

What do we learn from looking at the traces?

Conclusion

The R package woylier provides implementation of Givens interpolation path algorithm that can be used as an alternative interpolation method for tour. The algorithm implemented in the woylier package comes from Buja et al. (2005). We illustrate the use of the functions provided in the package for R users.

The motivation to develop this package comes from rotational invariance problem of current geodesic interpolation algorithm implemeneted in tourr package. The package gives users the ability to detect non-linear association between variables more precisely.

It is important to mention that woylier package should be integrated with tourr package. The future improvements that needs to be done in the package is to generalize the interpolation for more than 2d projections of data.
